I was just following the 72mph Zuma thread, and a couple of
things struck me.
The clutch and torque driver are spinning at least twice as
fast as the motor at high speed. If the motor is turning 12.5K,
clutch and torque pulleys are doing 25K. I have a Makita cutter
that turns at 25K, with cutting disks about 3" in diameter. If
I forget to take the small paper price sticker off the disk, the
Makita starts vibrating. The sticker weighs close to nothing!
Now close to double that disk diameter for the rear transmission
parts, and the sensitivity to imbalance should double as well. The
quality that those parts have to be, when turning at those
speeds, is mind boggling.
